They were most realistic portrayals, along with Don Beech and Boyden, I knew coppers like these 4 in naughty 90's. Dashwood is another that has real feel.

😃👍👍...Thanks so much Jana for uploading this! This is a very important episode as is Jack Meadows' first major appearance (after a number of minor appearances and as Supt. NOT DCI) on The Bill before becoming a regular a year later in 1992 as a DCI. It's a great storyline in this episode. I've been wanting to see this for over 10 yrs and finally did so yesterday...many thanks! 😃🌟🌟🍾

@@colin5944 Colin, yes you are correct 👍. I recently read that Meadows had upto 13 appearances before this one (perhaps inclusive) and in series 7, he appears well before this. I think the very first brief appearance is the episode where Mike Dashwood is held hostage (which if I remember right, is the one you're talking about.) He was miles better than Reid.
